This fits with my preferred leadership style - [[Facilitative Social Change Leadership Theory]] (Watt, 2009), which is "a melding of [[Social Change Theory]], [[Social Change Leadershp Theory]] and [[Transformational Leadership Theory]] as well as the work of Tichy and DeVanna" (p. 50). FSCL seeks to empower followers to be leader-followers who have a sense of ownership. It is sort of similar to the theoretical approach of the leadership co-created process (Northouse, 2019) where "leadership is co-created through the combined act of leading and following" (p. 305). In this framework, followership isn't role-based and it's not below leader on a hierarchical ladder. One is not more or less valuable than the other. Both are necessary in order to accomplish the shared vision. And individuals can transition between roles as leader or follower in different situations. This is the kind of leader I want to be. I don't see myself as being ranked above the individuals I lead. We are all part of the same team, working toward a common goal. Each of us has strengths and experience to contribute that may make us stand out at a particular stage of the journey and every one of us, including the formally identified leader, needs to be an effective follower in order for the group to succeed. --- # Other References
